Abstract

An impact screwdriver includes a housing, a battery arranged in the housing, an electric motor arranged inside the housing, a transmission part driven by the electric motor and an impacting part, the impacting part including a hammer, an anvil matched to and hammered by the hammer, and an output shaft revolved by the anvil, wherein the rated voltage of the battery is less than or equal to 4.25V, the impact frequency of the hammer and the anvil is at least 30 Hz, and the ratio of the output torque (Nm) of the output shaft to the rated voltage of the battery is 1.8˜4.5.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An impact screwdriver comprising: a housing; a battery arranged in the housing; an electric motor arranged inside the housing; a transmission part driven by the electric motor, wherein the electric motor has a driving shaft to provide a first rotational output, and the transmission part decelerates the rotational output of the driving shaft and then provides a second rotational output; and an impacting part coupled to the transmission part comprising a hammer, an anvil matched to and hammered by the hammer, and an output shaft revolved by the anvil, wherein the rated voltage of the battery is 3.6V, the impact frequency of the hammer and the anvil is at least 30 Hz, and the ratio of the output torque (Nm) of the output shaft to the rated voltage of the battery is 1.8-4.5.

2. The impact screwdriver according to claim 1 , wherein the output torque of the output shaft is at least 8 Nm.

3. The impact screwdriver according to claim 1 , wherein the hammer, the anvil and the output shaft of the impacting part are at least one of powder metallurgical parts and precision castings, and the anvil and the output shaft are one of integrated or independent parts separately formed.

4. The impact screwdriver according to claim 1 , wherein the impact screwdriver further comprises a shaft locking mechanism for switching the impact screwdriver between an electric operational mode and a manual operational mode.

5. The impact screwdriver according to claim 4 , wherein the shaft locking mechanism comprises an operating element mounted on the housing that is operable between a locked position and an unlocked position, a first engaging element coupled to the operating element, and a second engaging element arranged on the output shaft; wherein the first engaging element has a first position distal from the second engaging element and a second position at which the first engaging element is driven by the operating element to move and engage the second engaging element.

6. The impact screwdriver according to claim 5 , wherein the outer surface of the first engaging element has a plurality of protrusions, a sliding slot is provided on the housing for providing axial movement of the first engaging element, and a plurality of grooves are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the second engaging element to match with the protrusions.

7. The impact screwdriver according to claim 5 , wherein the operating element revolves around the housing and the outer surface of the first engaging element is provided with a chute in which a pin is arranged for sliding movement by the revolving of the operating element to force the axial movement of the first engaging element.

8. The impact screwdriver according to claim 5 , wherein the shaft locking mechanism further comprises a shaft locking switch triggered by the operating element to control an on-off operation of the motor circuit.

9. The impact screwdriver according to any one of claim 1 , wherein the battery is a lithium battery.
